“Victoria and her family took real good care of our dogs. She went the extra mile, giving us peace of mind the whole they were under her care. I will and already have recommended her to my friends.”
“I couldn't be more pleased with the exceptional care Cheryl provided for our 4 year cocker spaniel recovering from spinal surgery.From the moment we met, it was clear that Cheryl has a genuine love for animals. She was incredibly attentive, ensuring all of my dog's needs were met and even went above and beyond to make sure my dog felt comfortable and loved while I was away. Daily updates and photos reassured me that my dog was in good hands. I highly recommend Cheryl to anyone in need of a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter. Thank you, Cheryl for treating my dog like your own!”
“I left my dog with Julia for the first time recently, I can’t say enough how lucky I am for finding Julia, and how grateful I am for the amazing care and love she gave my dog during his stay at her house. Julia and her family treated my dog just like their own, they loved him and played with him and kept him busy and entertained, she took my dog for walks, she frequently sent me pictures and provided thorough feedback on how my dog was doing. I felt extremely comfortable with knowing my dog is being taken care of extremely well. I highly recommend Julia for dog sitting. THANK YOU Julia! 😊”

“Ariana was amazing to have as a sitter! She took excellent care of Stewie and made sure he took his meds.

We hope to book with you again in the future!?”

About: I have had animals of all sorts throughout my whole life, from dogs, cats to hamsters and bunny’s! We are a family of 4 humans, 1 shepherd/husky mix, 3 cats and 6 chickens. I work from home full time and have a very flexible schedule. I am home most days and most weekends! The only alone time for the animals is during school pick up and drop off Mon-Fri (2hrs Max) I have a fenced in back yard, secure and escape free, pups are only in the yard with supervision. Fen is our 3 year old Shepherd/Husky mix and he is the best play pal & we also have a just shy of 1 year old cat we call Muffin Man, he’s pretty much one of the dogs. I have 2 XL crates onsite if your pup prefers his/her space otherwise he’s/she will get full free range of the home and back yard. . I do require your Pup to be toddler friendly as we do have 2 kids in the house.
“Highly recommend Kendra! She took care of our little pug like she was her own. Kendra made sure our playful pug got her dose of activities with a walk and backyard fun, along with relaxation time.”
“This is the second time Alexis and her family have watched our Golden. They are amazing! We can tell from the photos how happy our Leo is staying with them. It’s very comforting!”
“Great pup vacation. Taro had the best R&R and a lot of loving attention. I could tell he felt right at home and loved all of the green space with shade. He can’t wait to come visit again.”
“Melissa was absolutely amazing — we took a somewhat long trip and she treated our dog like her own! He got toys and attention every day, played with her sweet dog Jax, and he came home smelling like he got a bath! She was also very responsive and sent us periodic updates with photos. We will absolutely be going to Melissa next time we need a dog sitter, and we'll be recommending her to our friends.”
“Adrienne cared for her dog over the weekend, she communicated with us throughout the weekend and provided photos of our pet. We were worried because our dog is a bit extra at times but she was really well behaved for Adrienne. We highly recommend her service if you are in need of a pet sitter. We definitely will be booking with her again.”
